I have been taking NAC, Vit D, qucertin, and zinc since June and recently my entire family came down with Covid and tested positive on September 21st. I have tested negative twice and still have no symptoms.

Dr. Seheult is unduly modest. His treatments and monitoring of clinical disease has had a profound effect on the lower death rates from Covid-19.

I also need to stress that he has been ACTIVELY EXPOSED to this disease on a daily basis from the very start. Literally every day.

I submit that if you are looking for heroes in our society, you need look no further than right here.

A virus, so terrible, so deadly, so contagious, horror of horrors, so awful you have to be tested to know if you have it.

[pattijesinoski]

These mask tests are bogus to such limited time of use.
Realistically, look at 8 hour use of mask minimum where people actually use time.

[maupinmaupin]

Thank you Dr. Seheult. I don't know how you find the hours in your busy day to help all of humanity as you do.

[germanaaccorsi]

Dear Dr. Roger Seheult you have a 80 Years old fan in Italy who is following your suggestions! Grazie mille and complimenti for your work!

[justylex]

I am in Ontario, Canada and that jump in deaths last week was actually due to a data clean up of missed deaths data from Spring and Summer, so like the UK and France, our daily deaths have actually remained low.

[christinacharlton]

I'm fed up with hearing about cases. The way they test isn't correct.

[lablackzed]

I have been taking vitamin D3+ Zinc and I have never felt better and I am no spring chicken as for masks I refuse to wear them .

Me : " I practice Medcram now Teacher."

A month ago, after I had watched the updates on vit D3, I asked my family and my boyfriend to start taking it. 8 days ago my bf got sick with covid. I immediately asked him to increase the dose from 1000 IU to 2000 when he just showed the first signs of illness. Then I asked him to take 4000 when we realized it was really the coronavirus, and not just flu. His recovery was super fast to our surprise. He's not very young (36), and I don't think his immune system is very strong (not enough sleep, stressful job, etc). Anyways, he started to feel better on the day 6 already. And on the day 7 he said he felt "normal". His temperature was 36, 6° C on the day 7, too. The X-ray test of the chest showed zero destruction of the lungs. I'm so happy! You and doc John Campbell (who also explained a lot about vitamin D3) literally saved the life of my loved one. Many greetings from Russia.

The one thing that seems to be consistent is that late stage CV19 is very resistant to treatments. Early intervention and preventative protocols seem to be the best way to go. Calling the fire dept after the house is fully involved is problematic.

It's a shame that the testing on oxygen and CO2 levels were so limited in scope. My job involves fairly strenuous physical work, and I am required to wear a mask at work. Sometimes the mask will suction to my face from how hard I'm breathing, and my breaths will take longer because it takes longer for the air to be sucked through the mask. It's very uncomfortable from a I-feel-like-I'm-suffocating standpoint. I'd be very surprised if there weren't significant differences in oxygen and CO2 levels in such circumstances even among healthy individuals.

This study advocates for mandatory universal mask use (already problematic, since scientific studies should not advocate policy) without even attempting to explore a representative set of circumstances in which people breath. Not everyone is an office worker, doing non-physical work in a climate controlled setting at sea level. If they seriously want to alleviate health concerns, they will have to do a serious study on the subject, which will be a little more involved than putting a handful of people on O2 and CO2 sensors in their office.

I am a respiratory therapist, and I heard our profession mentioned in the public area, our work is not made clear in information that we are a integral part of critical care team now in Sars Covid 2, before COVID and the years ahead ....a sad truth. To all RCPS you have my graftulness. Thank You for laying down your life in this dangerous time..and we all love being apart of the medical team!!

Dr. Campbell has been tirelessly mentioning Vitamin D since January of 2020. His thesis is that darker skin makes less Vitamin D. He also mentions that Vitamin D is a major factor in minimizing illness.
The reason I believe Vitamin D is just being studied is that there is no huge profits associated with Vitamin D curtailing this pandemic.

[firmbeliever]

I would like to see a test with a positive patient wearing a surgical mask, cloth mask (on/off) & see if it stops the virus or even spreads the virus.

My wife and I have been taking 2400iu of vitamin D3, 80mg of vitamin K2, 25mg of zinc, 1000mg vitamin C, and a quality multiple daily, and melatonin nightly. We live in NE Ohio, we have both have worked full-time through this media pandemic, and neither of us have been sick with CV19. I'm 61 and white with hbp, and my with is 59 and black.

My grandkids, whom I babysit, were exposed to a teacher who was tutoring them directly. The teacher was diagnosed on Thursday. No one bothered to even tell us until Monday. If this were TRULY a highly lethal disease, that is some pretty crappy contact tracing. This is Kabuki infection control, it is a mind phuck, not healthcare.

[luminous]

As a NYer I can tell you that any study that doesn't replicate real-life scenarios of extended mask usage is inaccurate. Not to mention that people are often breathing polluted air thru the mask, and they're wearing it in sweltering temps and intense humidity-- and are unable to change the mask every 2 minutes once it becomes damp. And in NY you are basically required to keep it on from the time you leave your house until you get back home. 12 hrs a day on average. And many jobs include physical labor as well. This study is useless.
